Whenever we throw epic events like Giz Gallery '09, we like to put together a reader meetup so that we can beratetorturemaim hang out with commenters in real life. Sometimes it's nice to converse in the physical realm.

On Friday the 25th, we'll be staying open late from 8-10p, where you can kick back, check out the original Macintosh computer, play some video games on a giant TV, and win a few prizes. If you're lucky, you might even get a chance to touch the great Blam (no promises however...he can be a bit ill-tempered). And if you can't make the reader meetup, just stop by anytime during the week and say hello. We won't bite (well, Blam might, actually).

Read more about our Giz Gallery 09 here, follow @gizgallery on Twitter and see what else we'll be playing with at the event. And special thanks to Toyota's Prius — without their sponsorship, there would be no Gizmodo Gallery.
